Millersburg Military Institute is a military boarding school founded in 1893 in Millersburg, Kentucky, about northeast of Lexington, Kentucky. Founded in 1893, it survived for over 113 years until closing in July 2006 due to a declining student population. The school had been temporarily closed in 2003, but was reopened by a rally of support from alumni and parents. The campus sits on in north-central Kentucky, in the town of Millersburg, Bourbon County. The property is bounded to the northwest by KY-68, to the southeast by railroad tracks and open land, and to the north and south by residential properties. The school was founded in 1893 on the property of the former Kentucky Wesleyan College and moved to its current location in 1920. Upwards of 250 students were enrolled during the school’s peak operating times; however, class sizes steadily declined through the early 2000s, resulting in the school’s closure in 2006. The U.S. Army Cadet Corps purchased the property in September 2008 and turned it into its national headquarters, as well as a National Cadet Training Center. The facility served again as a military boarding school as Forest Hill Military Academy starting in August 2012. In 2014, the US Army Cadet Corps began a reorganization and temporarily closed the school with plans to reopen in 2016 under the original name. It was announced in September 2015 that the grounds will once again be auctioned leaving the future of the school uncertain. The school filed for bankruptcy and stopped the sale and is currently restructuring its debt. ==Notable alumni== * Wendell Berry (born 1934) – academic, cultural and economic critic, farmer and prolific author of novels, short stories, poems, and essays * Tom Boerwinkle (born 1945) basketball player at the University of Tennessee and with the NBA Chicago Bulls (1968-1978) * Jason Conley (born 1981) – attended for one postgraduate year before attending Virginia Military Institute; he would become the first freshman to lead NCAA Division I men's basketball in scoring 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Millersburg Military Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
